Integrate Beans with your WooCommerce store.
WooCommerce is an open-source e-commerce platform designed to provide merchants with the tools they need to sell products online effectively. Integrating Beans with WooCommerce enhances this experience by enabling merchants to boost customer loyalty through a rewards system. With Beans for WooCommerce, you can reward customers for their purchases, encouraging repeat business and fostering a loyal customer base.
To begin, install the Beans plugin for WooCommerce from the WordPress plugin repository. Follow the WordPress guideline for plugin installation. After installation, activate the plugin and connect Beans to your shop using the setup instructions.
To manually connect Beans to your WooCommerce store, follow these steps:
The Beans plugin for WooCommerce automatically adds a rewards page to your shop.
By default, you can access the page at https://myshop.com/rewards-program
, assuming
your website’s full URL is https://myshop.com
.
To display the rewards program page, Beans uses the shortcode [beans_page]
.
This makes it very easy to edit the page if necessary.
It is recommended to add the link to your rewards program in the main menu to make it easy for your customers to access. Here is how to do it: How to Add Navigation Menu in WordPress
Sets a minimum points threshold that customers must reach before redeeming rewards. By default, customers need to accumulate at least 100 points before being eligible for redemption. You can adjust this threshold higher to ensure meaningful program engagement and prevent inefficient redemptions. For example, if you set the minimum to 500 points, customers would need to earn at least 500 points before they can start redeeming rewards.
How it works:
Choose a minimum threshold that balances customer satisfaction with your business goals. Too high may discourage participation, while too low could reduce program effectiveness.
Sets a limit on how much of the total purchase price can be discounted through points. This ensures that the discounts provided through redemptions remain within acceptable limits for your business. For example, if a customer wants to buy a product priced at $10 and has 1000 points (equal to $10), but the maximum discount is set to 50%, they can only use 500 points, giving them a $5 discount.
How it works:
Setting a reasonable maximum discount percentage helps maintain a balance between rewarding customers and protecting your profit margins.
Enable point redemption for specific product collections in your store. Customers can then redeem points only for products in the selected collections. When no collections are selected, all products are eligible for redemption.
How it works:
Automatically enrolls new customers into your rewards program when they create an account or make a purchase. This ensures seamless participation and maximum program engagement.
How it works:
If you suspect the Beans plugin isn’t properly installed on your WordPress site, Beans provides a straightforward solution to address this without any negative side effects.
Beans uses the WooCommerce API to access your store data. Here are the most common reasons why you might experience issues with connecting Beans to your store.
